Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

……

Base 1 lobby.

Qi Ming's figure flashed out.

For this boss welcome party, he specially combed his hair to look like an adult, getting a slicked-back hairstyle just like Chow Yun-fat.

He was wearing a leather coat over a gray turtleneck sweater.

Black cargo pants and high-top boots—definitely a boss-like look.

"Long time no see, everyone."

Seeing two familiar figures not far away, Qi Ming walked over with his hands in his pockets.

Chianti and Cohen stopped and turned to look at Qi Ming.

"what happened?"

Seeing the two staring at him with strange expressions, Qi Ming pretended to be calm and asked.

It's obvious that these two snipers are so impressed with themselves that they can't even speak.

Seeing Qi Ming's calm demeanor, Chianti couldn't help but speak up:

“Madera, I think there’s some misunderstanding here.”

Qi Ming frowned.

Misunderstand?

Oh, so these two veteran employees probably think that their chances of being promoted from manager to boss are a bit far-fetched, right?

"Misunderstanding? No, there is no misunderstanding."

Chianti clenched his fist upon hearing Qi Ming's words.

Cohen paused for a moment, then spoke to Qi Ming.

"Don't worry, I'll speak up for you."

Qi Ming glanced at Cohen with some surprise.

"Are you taking sides?"

This little white-haired guy is quite talkative, isn't he?

They already want to join my faction before my boss upgrade ceremony has even started?

"That's one way to put it, I understand."

Qi Ming patted Cohen on the shoulder.

"Good lad, I didn't give you the gun for nothing."

As the three continued on their way to the operations room, Qi Ming saw a familiar figure again.

“Master Abe, you’re here too.”

Vermouth turned her head, and as Qi Ming had expected, she also wore a complicated expression.

"After all, it's such an important matter, I have to come back and see."

"Madera, when exactly did you...?"

Vermouth glanced at Chianti and Cohen, then immediately shut up and stopped talking.

Qi Ming replied.

"It seems that Old Wu's secrecy measures were quite good not long ago. I didn't expect you to find out only now."

Vermouth gave Qi Ming a deep look and shook her head.

"...But with your abilities, there shouldn't be any problem."

"I'll help you."

"Oh?"

Qi Ming looked Vermouth up and down.

Is Vermouth trying to become his secretary?

……

The operations conference room was now packed with men in black.

This was the first time Qi Ming had ever seen so many people gathered here.

There were a lot of familiar faces, and a lot of old faces as well.

Gin, meanwhile, stood before the group like an instructor.

Seeing that all the members were looking at him, Qi Ming straightened his back a bit and walked towards Gin.

Once Qi Ming stood in front of Gin, Gin looked at Qi Ming with a complex expression in his eyes.

"Madeira, is that true?"

Qi Ming smiled gently.

"No doubt about it, it's absolutely true."

As soon as he finished speaking, the members' eyes widened and they began whispering among themselves.

Qi Ming seemed to see Gin's shoulder suddenly tremble.

“Madera, I’m not kidding you.”

Seeing Gin's suddenly cold gaze and heavy tone, Qi Ming felt a sense of desolation in his heart.

You can know a person's face but not their heart...

I never expected Gin to be so jealous of him!

The reaction to finding out I've become the boss is so strong!

"I'm not kidding you, it's 100% true."

Gin stared intently into Qi Ming's eyes and took a deep breath.

But before he could speak, Vermouth immediately stepped forward and said:

"Gin, I think this matter needs further discussion."

Gin gave Vermouth a cold glance.

"What to discuss?"

"You should know that this is very unscientific."

"..."

Seeing that Gin remained silent, Cohen also stepped forward and spoke to Gin.

"I also think there might be a misunderstanding."

Ok?

Qi Ming was momentarily at a loss for what expression to make.

Is this what adult socializing is all about?

They were all saying they'd speak up for me, but now they've all rebelled?

"Didn't you say you were on my side? What do you mean by this now?"

Cohen and Vermouth looked at Qi Ming.

"We're just speaking up for you, aren't we?"

"..."

Not right.

Qi Ming felt that something was very wrong.

"What exactly are you talking about?"

Gin was taken aback.

"You do not know?"

"I know what I know, but I don't know what you know about me."

Chianti didn't quite understand what Qi Ming meant at first.

Gin realized something was wrong and asked Qi Ming.

"Madera, what were you trying to say just now?"

Qi Ming told the truth.

"Weren't you all here to congratulate me on becoming the boss?"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, not only Gin, but everyone present was stunned.

Vermouth said, somewhat bewildered.

The boss quit?

Why didn't I tell her?

"When did this happen?"

Qi Ming scratched his head.

"Now? Otherwise, what are you all doing gathered here?"

Gin was silent for a moment, then took out his phone and turned the screen towards Qi Ming.

All members, assemble at Base 1. I will be making an important decision regarding Madeira.

"This was sent by the boss..."

buzz-

Before Gin could finish speaking, his phone vibrated, and another message came in.

The message came immediately after the previous one, and it was clearly from the same person, Karasuma Renya.

I hereby announce that Madeira will serve as the new organization's boss.

"..."

As a professional organizer, Gin rarely feels dissatisfied with his boss.

But he is genuinely somewhat dissatisfied now.

Can't you just send a message all at once? Why do you need to split it into paragraphs when it's just one sentence?

Why did it take so long to send it?

Qi Ming glanced at the silent crowd and then asked.

"So what exactly were you talking about just now?"

Vodka glanced at the silent Gin, then at the petrified expressions of the others, and stepped forward to explain.

“Some members of the organization have recently received information that you have protected Shirley.”

"Big Brother thought it was because of this incident that the boss summoned everyone to deal with you."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Qi Ming's expression gradually turned petrified.

Who has the audacity to tell the organization the truth?

Qi Ming thought this in his heart, but what came out of his mouth was something else entirely.

"Who dares to spread rumors about me?!"
